The College Football season is heating up, and the stakes couldn’t be higher! With only three weeks left in the regular season, teams are scrambling to secure their spots in the coveted College Football Playoff. Every game is a make-or-break moment for the 12 teams vying for a chance to compete for the National Championship.
SEC Showdown: A Must-Watch Matchup
This week, all eyes will be on the Southeastern Conference (SEC), which is arguably the most competitive conference in college football. Currently, five SEC teams are ranked in the top 12, making this week’s games particularly significant. ESPN is gearing up to broadcast the biggest SEC clash of the week, featuring two top-12 teams going head-to-head.
Where is ‘College GameDay’ location for Week 12?
- Location: Athens, Georgia
- Time: 9 a.m. ET
- Matchup: No. 7 Tennessee at No. 12 Georgia
This week’s “College GameDay” will return to a familiar venue as the Bulldogs prepare to face the Volunteers. Georgia will host “GameDay” for the first time this season, having previously appeared as a road team. The Bulldogs are currently 1-1 in “GameDay” games this year, and their last home appearance was against Ole Miss last season. In contrast, Tennessee has been featured once this season, when they traveled to Norman and triumphed over Oklahoma.
Georgia vs. Tennessee: A Rivalry Renewed
The rivalry between Georgia and Tennessee has been one-sided in recent years, with the Bulldogs winning the last seven matchups. The last time Tennessee was the higher-ranked team in this contest was back in 2016, which also marks the last time they defeated Georgia. This season, Georgia finds itself ranked No. 12, just outside the playoff picture, while Tennessee is currently sitting at No. 7 and projected to face Notre Dame in the postseason based on the latest College Football Playoff rankings.

Fans can look forward to his insights and predictions as the show unfolds.
Lee Corso’s Prediction: Who Will He Choose?
As we gear up for this thrilling matchup, the anticipation builds around Lee Corso’s iconic headgear selection. With Georgia hosting for the first time this season, the stakes are even higher. The Bulldogs have a lot to prove, while the Volunteers aim to break their losing streak against Georgia. Who will Corso pick this week? Fans will have to tune in to find out!
What’s at Stake for Both Teams?
For Georgia, the pressure is on as they find themselves on the outside looking in for the playoff spots. Ranked No. 12, they are the last team out, largely due to the projected automatic spot for No. 13 Boise State, who is in line for a conference championship. On the other hand, No. 7 Tennessee is riding high, with aspirations of a postseason showdown against Notre Dame.
As the regular season winds down, every game becomes a pivotal moment in the quest for the National Championship. The stakes are high, and the excitement is palpable. Will Georgia continue its dominance over Tennessee, or will the Volunteers rise to the occasion and turn the tide in this storied rivalry?
With so much on the line, fans can expect an electrifying atmosphere in Athens this weekend. The combination of tradition, rivalry, and playoff implications makes this matchup a must-watch for college football enthusiasts. So, gear up, grab your snacks, and settle in for what promises to be an unforgettable day of college football!
